Tajemnica stojąca za CF – IBM BlueMix to także odmoana CF. Cloud Foundry was created by VMware to streamline deployment for application developers, application operators, and cloud operators.

In February 2014, VMware spin-off Pivotal announced the formation of the Cloud Foundry Foundation, with Pivotal, EMC, IBM, Rackspace, and VMware as Platinum sponsors. The foundation has since expanded to 33 members and 42 contributing companies. One differentiator for Cloud Foundry is support for Pivotal HD Hadoop MapReduce, HAWQ SQL for Hadoop, and GemFire XD analytics. Another is the availability of the Pivotal Mobile Services Suite, thanks to last year’s acquisition of Xtreme Labs. Pivotal’s big data services and mobile services are both now integrated with Pivotal CF, the company’s enterprise version of Cloud Foundry.
